Vinny minton makes skating look so good. such a good filmier.
really dope edit

February 8th, 2011 at 10:32 am
Maybe vinny should of shot game theory.
then that movie would of been done some justice.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:37 am
See, now thats the kinda shit that makes me wanna go blade. Too bad its 4am and theres snow. Hecka dig this edit though.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:42 am
This is how you make a rollerblading edit!
Vinny should film the next razors video for sure.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:50 am
that thing where all the skaters line in a row should be called the VINNY or vinnying
dope stuff
well done
February 8th, 2011 at 11:05 am
please compare this masterpiece with game theory and than tell me, what you think about it…
vinny should have done the razros dvd, maybe than nobody would hate the razors team for their gangster/rihanna gay theory style!
good work vinny!!! the music fits perfectly and the filming is the shit!!!
February 8th, 2011 at 11:05 am
vinny > brazil
Your comment was a bit too short. Please go back and try again. :)
You are posting comments too quickly. Slow down. :(
February 8th, 2011 at 11:37 am
Robert Lievanos!!! Nice to see some footage
February 8th, 2011 at 11:54 am
wanted this one to never end. didn’t ever expect to see rollerblading edit that blows me away like this. thanks Vinny !
February 8th, 2011 at 12:01 pm
WOW
Best edit so far of 2011. Vinnys the best in the game as far as I’m concerned
February 8th, 2011 at 12:15 pm
Who’s the one riding in white Trust’s?
Such a nice cinematography. Accents where needed, nice colour, good sense of rythm. This guy has very good taste, no wonder he is doing so well.
February 8th, 2011 at 12:16 pm
Another ridiculously sick edit from Vinny Monton! Such an inspiration to all film makers in the industry!
February 8th, 2011 at 12:33 pm
It’s videos like this that make rollerblading look incredible to those who doubt it.
Amazing.
February 8th, 2011 at 12:58 pm
Brazillionaire, go home, never film again
This is how you do it
February 8th, 2011 at 1:12 pm
AAAh, I just can’t stop trying to figure out what video Game Theory would have been if Vinny was behind the camera.
Don’t get me wrong, Brazil’s a great videographer, but his edits are made for another culture, basketball, football whatever, Vinny first found the sickest style in inline-skating, and now has found the sickest style in inline editing.
The only bad note to that edit is Vinny doesn’t skate in it as well.
Make Vinny the official edit-maker for Razors, please.
February 8th, 2011 at 1:42 pm
this is how razors should be represented. no rockstar bullshit.
February 8th, 2011 at 1:45 pm
Damn, i’m speechless….so sick
February 8th, 2011 at 1:52 pm
Vinny Minton is on his own level! Has been skating wise and is editing wise today!!!
February 8th, 2011 at 1:53 pm
Oh my God!
This is fuck AMAZING!
Perfect image.
February 8th, 2011 at 2:03 pm
the best video on the edit
February 8th, 2011 at 2:07 pm
Vinny is a true professional. All the other guys are just wannabe’s!
February 8th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
A M A Z I N G
dfghnjmk,
February 8th, 2011 at 2:57 pm
great toys cuz!
February 8th, 2011 at 3:01 pm
Draaaa ! Vinny you re the best man !
February 8th, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Vinny: 1 – 0 : Bazil
February 8th, 2011 at 3:44 pm
i guess his useing twixtor now!?
professional filming with non professional equiment..gotta love vinny!
February 8th, 2011 at 4:01 pm
it’s been nice knowing you Brazilionaire
Vinny rules! You cannot pay him enough to do what he does for blading!!
February 8th, 2011 at 4:13 pm
Vinny is a great filmer and has great filming aesthetics, and good taste in music, but lets face it Brazil is a better editor. Sill would rather have Vinny edit a blade video though, why? cause his style is better than Brazils, especially muzack!
February 8th, 2011 at 4:28 pm
beautiful comp guys! dawn nice job!
February 8th, 2011 at 4:45 pm
just fuckin amazing
February 8th, 2011 at 4:57 pm
soo much fun watching these types of edits.. gooo vinny.. if anyone ever wants to see rollerblading. aside from showing ppl haffeys sections which i know you do… show them vinny’s videos.. this and his bcsd ( unless it was winter clash? which ever was similar to this edit) and his wedding photos and they will always be in awe
props vinny
February 8th, 2011 at 5:10 pm
I wonder why Vinny never became the filmer for Valo, since he’s from NorCal? It would have been a good move to snag him at least so Razors wouldn’t get him. Maybe his pants weren’t tight enough or something.
Genius move by Razors, doing a Vinny collabo. I can only hope it’s permanent, but who knows, maybe VInny makes more money on his own than he would as any company’s filmer. Anyway, I LOVED this edit. Hope to see more!!!
February 8th, 2011 at 5:17 pm
Vinny has the best edits in the game. Period.
February 8th, 2011 at 5:40 pm
Amazing edit …. but I want to see Vinny skating also!!!!!! ;(
Vinny show us something next time!!!
!!!! beST
February 8th, 2011 at 5:48 pm
That was such a sick edit !!!! Sneaky kills it, so do all the other dudes just a great edit
February 8th, 2011 at 5:51 pm
great edit, i loved the long continuous shots…… soo good
February 8th, 2011 at 5:56 pm
1. “vinny should have done the razros dvd maybe than nobody would hate the razors team for their gangster/rihanna gay theory style!”
2. “Robert Lievanos!!! Nice to see some footage”
3. “anyone catch that murda clip? its like he’s not even trying”
:)
February 8th, 2011 at 6:02 pm
Aragon is the man! Always was killin’ it and STILL killin’ it till’ today… His style gets 50 times better in every new edit that i see him.. GO PRINCE ARAGON!
February 8th, 2011 at 6:03 pm
Vinny!
Such a sick edit man, keep that shit going!
February 8th, 2011 at 6:22 pm
best way to start a day off damn that was amazing time for the day
February 8th, 2011 at 6:29 pm
Damn I did not know that vinny’s production was as good as his skating
February 8th, 2011 at 6:33 pm
Here’s the thing Vinny is the shit. Brazil shouldn’t have to really edit a freaking Pro Team clip. Did you see any pauses in the action with Vinny. nope.
February 8th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
Nice job, i want more mike murda clips ;-)
February 8th, 2011 at 7:04 pm
go pay Vinny, fire that brazil fagggg
February 8th, 2011 at 7:11 pm
No Hate! Vinny > Rollernews!
February 8th, 2011 at 7:16 pm
This is why i downloaded Gay Theory! Vinny can do way better than fucking “wannabe an MTV film maker” brazillionaire!
BTW good to watch sneaky shreding, long time i haven’t seen him in an edit, this kid is dope!!
February 8th, 2011 at 7:36 pm
@hoax34 yes vinny is the best website ever! wait
February 8th, 2011 at 7:43 pm
that murda clip did my day! i would love to see vinny shot edit by AJ…
February 8th, 2011 at 7:48 pm
vinny you are god thank you for this edit
February 8th, 2011 at 7:55 pm
I was happy to be able to watch this on my Evo this morning at work, it made the last hour of work worthwhile. Good job Vinny..
February 8th, 2011 at 8:07 pm
Nice quality, Vinny for the next Razors dvd?
February 8th, 2011 at 8:21 pm
my only complaint is that i was hoping to see one clip of vinny…but shit was still amazing regardless, nice work.
February 8th, 2011 at 8:47 pm
razors was startin to look like bunique…this is much better
how is Dre Powell pro? he sucks
February 8th, 2011 at 8:56 pm
to how dre powell is still pro is beyond me when kids like Jeph Howard are am’s Vinny Minton is def ontop of the filming scene right now crispy clean
February 8th, 2011 at 9:06 pm
non stop action scenes were just great!
February 8th, 2011 at 9:18 pm
so sick. made me proud.
February 8th, 2011 at 9:28 pm
sick, would have a been even better if vinny threw in one of his top soyals
February 8th, 2011 at 9:35 pm
I watch the umpteenth time, and still i can’t take my mouth from keyboard.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:32 pm
1. amazing. 2. Murda… that one clip is enough to explain why ur my second fave behind aragon. toooo much style.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:33 pm
damn, replay that shit 1,000 times.
February 8th, 2011 at 10:38 pm
WOW, Best edit i’ve seen in years congrats to Vinny and The Razors Boys for making skating look the way it really is………….FUN!!!!!! Vinny Definitely should have filmed Game Theory Nor Cal REPRESENT
February 8th, 2011 at 10:43 pm
Something taught someone a lesson here!
February 8th, 2011 at 10:44 pm
I meant SOMEBODY taught someone a lesson here !
February 8th, 2011 at 10:58 pm
This is a remarkable edit! I really enjoyed it. It is pretty interesting how they managed to get some many tricks/skaters into one shot. Keep it up! That’s how it’s done!!
February 8th, 2011 at 11:04 pm
Good job Vinny!
February 8th, 2011 at 11:19 pm
Vinny should not have filmed Game Theory. He should never make a video with this kind of filming, because it would get old. If he only releases 2 or 3 edits a year like this, it keeps it fresh and youll appreciate it that much more when you see it. Hes got a great thing going with these edits but 45 minutes of this would be too much, and Im sure even he knows that. Besides hes busy filming shit that actually makes him money, unlike skate videos.
February 8th, 2011 at 11:49 pm
WHUUUT NICE!!
Vinny should make a new rollerblading movie, like Hyphy, but in his new style!! I would buy it for 50 euro’s without doubt
February 9th, 2011 at 12:33 am
sneaky just showed dre up
February 9th, 2011 at 12:38 am
Vinny’s a legend in rollerblading and has been paying dues sense day one and is one of the best videographers and cinematographers in the blade game hands down, check the record hyphys 1 – 3 ( all amazing ) plus other videos i cant name right now, what im saying is he has alot more respect and alot more experience with videos then brazil does, but even if the razors team offered i think he wouldnt except although i love the idea, hes actually doing this that will make $ but major ups tho vinny cant wait to see your edit for BCSD its going to be amazing as always
p.s. brazil is a fag
February 9th, 2011 at 12:42 am
best edit ive seen in sooooo long. vinny is the real deal fellers
February 9th, 2011 at 1:11 am
Where can I download Game Theory?
February 9th, 2011 at 1:23 am
^ yah i wanna know too?
February 9th, 2011 at 1:42 am
“I wonder why Vinny never became the filmer for Valo, since he’s from NorCal? It would have been a good move to snag him at least so Razors wouldn’t get him.”
Maybe because Ivan is the shit. have you not seen 4life top notch man. i like his stuff a lot better than vinny
February 9th, 2011 at 2:02 am
game theory for download on http://www.freestyleculture.com
awesome edit
February 9th, 2011 at 2:39 am
holy shitttt. damn, now i wanna go skate. that was like a total eyegasm. speechless.
powell was killing it, damn.
February 9th, 2011 at 2:42 am
freestyleculture.com can download game theory there.
February 9th, 2011 at 3:21 am
They should have called this Game Theory minus 2 years of bullshit.
February 9th, 2011 at 4:45 am
Wicked edit. Why all the hate toward Dre and Brazil? So Vinny is a better videographer, we know this. But show some class and don’t hate the other man’s hustle. You kids on here talking smack for no reason are poison. Dre has been putting in work for years in an industry that has continually failed to look after the older vets. We owe him the respect he deserves. Think Rob G on Rollerblade. Of course there are better rollers than Rob G, but he’s a vet and has been working hard for years. Props to him and Hyser for hooking him up. Dre is good, and deserves and be pro, as does Murda. You punks with too much time should look at other action sports sponsors and learn a thing or two.
February 9th, 2011 at 5:03 am
Bobby Johnson Just spoke the truth.
February 9th, 2011 at 5:12 am
dont know what to say speechless. anyone know the tune to that edit?
February 9th, 2011 at 5:42 am
i just ejaculated in my britches … that was some fine rollerskating those young men were doing .. wooooweeeee.. ill be goddamned
February 9th, 2011 at 7:09 am
i appreciate the love from everyone, but want it to be clear.. i didn’t make this to compare to the razor video or to brazil skills.. i love brazils hustle, he is a good friend and actually taught me some things back n the day.. and as far as the dude who said dre sucks.. you need to re-watch game theory or watch it if you haven’t seen it.. dre is DOPE!!! and he’s really good people person, who actually sits and chops it up with all the kids on tours….
February 9th, 2011 at 7:45 am
i dont get these adults acting like 18 year old jocks with mom buying them new cars for school…
this attitude is weeiirddd
not a fan of razors ppl. i miss don.. he rept razors in a realistic matter…
as a rollerblader
not a rich surfer bro with bodacious bling and a swweeet cardigan
neat
oh and Vinny is the fucking man
oh and before you little children say it all us “haters” know that these guys can out skate any of us… that has nothing to do with this.
im forcing you to continue to read..
pp
February 9th, 2011 at 8:00 am
I can’t stop watching this, its truly amazing! Aragon’s landing on that crazy rodeo flip thing at 3:18 was as perfect as could be, straight up stomped! Everyone killed it and Vinny’s skills are top notch.
Thanks for making those points Vinny, most kids on here are clueless.
Vinny and Brazil are both great and both deserve respect for all that they have done for rollerblading. Dre has been killing it lately! His section in Game Theory is just as good or better than his old stuff from 5 or 6 years ago, and that as we old schoolers out there know is not easy to do.
February 9th, 2011 at 1:33 pm
Props to Vinny for commenting. Bobby brown is talking the truth right here!
Yeah, sneaky is probably on a level with dre now, but so are many other kids, can’t just go kicking people off teams just because someones been killing it for a couple of years, where’s the respect in that?
You guys must have forgot that dre and murda have been killing it for nearly a decade, and not only that it’s not just down to skating, it’s how you represent your team. (I don’t like dres style) but Many people do, and if he’s out there chatting to the kids and repping our sport then that’s why he’s pro.
No wonder this sports not popular, as soon as someone hasn’t made a section in a few months the kids on here are calling for them to be kicked off their team! That’s just weak. The young guns time will come eventually
February 9th, 2011 at 2:51 pm
song anyone?
props Vinny, amazing once again, i love the flow of this clip, truly remarkable
February 9th, 2011 at 4:05 pm
Maybe because Ivan is the shit. have you not seen 4life top notch man. i like his stuff a lot better than vinny
seen it once. same with STYD. Too much talking and way too long. Vinny’s edits just pull me in and show how cool rollerblading can be, not how cool rollerbladers think they are. there is a MAJOR difference.
February 9th, 2011 at 4:18 pm
bruv for the people is cussing on dre powell you need to see his old vids and people can see why hes pro trust
February 9th, 2011 at 5:35 pm
They all try really hard, but none has done what rollerblading needs, neighter razors, remz, valo, or nimh, it´s all still just skate videos, nobody talks to outsiders, no rollerblading media is aimed at making fresh skaters, it´s all FUBU = For us by us, nothing is done to change the face of blading in the worldwide community, we are still considered posers and a cheap copy of skateboarding by everyone else, and that will never change, until companies start doing something real, and investing real money,Delivering the job to some REAL post production or production studio, instead of paying some dude here and there to make a video on his own…Who am I? 20 years into skating, Brazillian, 10 years studying english… 8 years into motion graphics, compositing, and video post-production, and if you “look up in the sky” every major extreme sports has better media than rollerblading.
Enough said.
February 9th, 2011 at 8:09 pm
gotta agree with Hell Yeahhh….no efforts to attract new skaters….no efforts to bring in young kids….no efforts to organize competition and get it on TV – we just watch ourselves skate
February 9th, 2011 at 8:27 pm
Amazing edit,I love rollerblading.
February 9th, 2011 at 10:27 pm
to all the kids who hate on dre or murda i wana see a edit from yall i both know Dre and Murda and they will shit on you
February 9th, 2011 at 11:00 pm
heel erg vet!
Your comment was a bit too short. Please go back and try again.
February 9th, 2011 at 11:18 pm
Flllooowwwwwwww
so rarely do you see one skater after another hitting tricks like that in one follow shot.
Massively refreshing, awesome skating, Vinnie is the man!
February 9th, 2011 at 11:45 pm
Well done Vinny! Hows your knee? You are constatly evolving for the better. Props to all the old and new heads making rolling look good. The reason Dre is pro is because he was killing it when you were an itch in your daddys pants, and still kills it! Like someone else said hes also a really nice guy who talks to everyone like their his hommie(key personality trait missing from alot of the pros).
February 10th, 2011 at 12:02 am
Few months ago i saw some comments telling bullshit about one scene that’s Minton has made for a hollywood film. In that scene, he filmed a skater girl. What that haters say now? This is the best edit, with the best photography i seen so far. Vinny has developed his talents on filming and editing without prejudgement, and this long way lead him to this level of quality and professionalism. This is what is missing on the inline skate industry/community.
Congratulations Vinny! Keep the amazing job!
February 10th, 2011 at 12:06 am
WOW! Can’t wait to see his BCSD edit
February 10th, 2011 at 12:43 am
THIS IS HOW EDITS SHOULD BE!!!!!!!!!!! PROPS!!
February 10th, 2011 at 1:12 am
Why is there so much hype around this and vinny? he’s REALLY not that good. Better than the vast majority of videographers who contribute to rollerblading but he really hasnt got that much of an artistic eye and his editing is basic. He’s just got the equipment… All those pony wedding videos he does and gets overly paid for them…
February 10th, 2011 at 2:22 am
“Wow”^^^ You have got to be semi retarded. I think its you that doesn’t have the artistic eye.
February 10th, 2011 at 3:40 am
This edit was so fucking fresh god damn it. Words cannot ddescribe how happy that made me
February 10th, 2011 at 2:14 pm
“Wow”^^^ You have got to be semi retarded. -Brandon Anderson
Well said Brandon. I think we should take Lenny(Wow) and have a public wheeling(stoning), while he tells us all the great things hes doing for rollerblading other than trolling. How the hell can you knock Vinny for getting paid and then giving back to the rolling community? Oh, thats right, your semi retarded.
February 10th, 2011 at 7:19 pm
Fucking Beautiful. if i ever forgot how much i loved rollerblading this just reminded me, best edit in a long time.
February 10th, 2011 at 9:23 pm
Braizl made me hate razors and vinny made me like em
February 11th, 2011 at 5:29 pm
Name of the song please? Vinny you are master of filming and editing.
February 12th, 2011 at 2:31 am
Some great ricks there, Aragon’s true fish on the square single rail was amazing, and that jump tap thing that Dre did was soooooo good, love Dre Powell he has been ripping for so long and is still way ahead of most people out there today.
February 12th, 2011 at 12:40 pm
BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!
February 12th, 2011 at 7:26 pm
mirzoyan go home .. vinny pownz
February 13th, 2011 at 2:30 am
I just came a little bit…..
Vinny should remake game theroy
February 13th, 2011 at 7:15 am
@Wow and anyone else who thinks they know something about filming and having an “artistic eye”….
Read this twitter post: http://twitter.com/#!/GregYaitanes
Then look up who Greg Yaitanes is… Here is an excerpt from his IMDB profile: “Emmy Award-winning director Greg Yaitanes, 40, is one of the most respected names in television, directing and producing top shows including Damages, Lost, Prison Break, Heroes and Grey’s Anatomy.”
So there, someone with REAL LIFE experience WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT is giving Vinny much deserved credit. So all of you little fucks who think you know what your talking about… well you don’t, you are nobody, you have not proven yourself, you have not contributed anything to rollerblading or any other industry – you will amount to NOTHING because you don’t “get it”.

Can’t believe people are trying to defend Brazillionaire’s shitty work. He is not a good cinematographer by any means. He poorly beat matches his footage to crap music, uses stock footage, uses slow motion as a crutch, doesn’t colour grade his work, etc.
February 14th, 2011 at 3:41 am

thanks
